Toys and Games Reviews of Battleship Design May Vary
Customer Review: Still a great game!
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to play my much-older brother with my mom's old Battleship game (from 1971, still with most of the original packaging!). I even won some of the time, which was really nice because Older brother usually won everything! As was mentioned in the editorial review, the flaw of the pegboards' tendency to shift and lose their pegs is the only thing I ever found to dislike in any edition. The rules are simple enough for younger kids to learn, but older kids and adults can go more in-depth with strategies of hunting for and placing those little plastic boats. :)Customer Review: Fun and educational
Summary: 4 Stars
My 6 year old enjoys playing this game, as did I when I was a kid. Heck, I enjoy it now. It's a good educational tool as well: it teaches the concept of a grid, spatial relationships, and strategy.
One criticism: the pegs can fall out of the upper grids (used to track your "shots" at your opponent's ships) too easily. One decent thump and they can fall out in bunches. It is a good idea for each player to track the other player's misses in their lower grid so that when catastrophe happens, the pegs can be restored.
Customer Review: Fun sometimes.

My 8 year old son and I play this sometimes and we have fun, but he doesn't want to play it too often. My 6 year old son only wants to play after he sees his big brother play. He likes it for a few minutes, but then starts to lose interest. My 3 year old likes to throw handfuls of the little pieces after we've been playing too long and she gets bored. Overall, it's a good strategy game that takes a little too long for young kids to play. A little too long for Mommy too.Customer Review: Fun Game, needs better design
Summary: 3 Stars
I have to agree with several prior comments concerning the marking pins, they are a poor fit and a simple bump can cause the pins to jump off the board - can we expect a seven year old or even an adult to not bump the board ocasionally? Also, I had to file down the ships pins so they would fit into the boards holes - I don't recall having these problems when I was a kid. Too often the game companies rely on history to sell a game, then deliver an inferior produt.Customer Review: A Great long lasting Old fashioned Game.
Summary: 4 Stars
I remember playing this games as an introduction to board games and I still play it today with my husband. Battleship is all about srategy, guesses and getting to know one and another (Are they the sort of person to hide their ships in the corner, the sides or right in the middle?) Battleship is also a great game because it allows you to play for ten minutes to an hour or for longer. It is a non-violent long lasting game, great for adults and for kids too!
